Step-by-Step Instructions for Birria Enchiladas
  1. If you're making homemade Birria, start by slow-cooking your choice of meat—goat or beef—with spices for 3 to 5 hours until tender.
  2. In a shallow dish, pour warm birria broth and dip each corn tortilla for about 10-15 seconds to soften.
  3. On a flat surface, place a softened tortilla, fill it with shredded birria and a sprinkle of cheese, and roll tightly.
  4. Sprinkle additional cheese on top of the rolled enchiladas and pour reserved birria broth over. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Garnish with chopped onions and cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
